The Gal Who Invented Kissin' lyrics

I love the gal who invented kissin'

I don't recall her name

But I do believe that gal should sit

High up in the hall of fame

Until she came along

Just think what we were missin'

That's why today I'm shoutin' "Hooray!"

For the gal who invented kissin'

She taught the fellows how to smooch

Instead of holdin' hands

She showed them how to steal a kiss

Like they do in foreign lands

Until she came along

Just think what they were missin'

Love was very nice, but as cold as ice

Till that gal invented kissin'

She showed the girls how to pucker up

And roll their purty eyes

And she showed them how to kiss hello

And how to kiss goodbye

Until she came along

Just think what they were missin'

They could only cook or read a book

Till that gal invented kissin'

Mister Edison, he invented the lights

Mr. Bell, the telephone

And Columbus found America

Their names are all well-known

But till she came along

This world had somethin' missin'

And I'm tellin' you there was nothing to do

Till that gal invented kissin'

She patented the kiss of fire

And how to kiss goodnight

On ev'ry kind of hug and kiss

She holds the copyright

And if I had my way

The only thing I'm wishin'

Is to make a date, then stay out late

With the gal who invented kissin'
